Legal Question in Consumer Law in California

Purchasers of a used vehicle buy as is, which means that you assume the risk of defects in the vehicle. That's why it's always recommended that a potential purchaser bring the car to a reputable mechanic to inspect it before shelling out a lot of cash. It's always worth the extra money to avoid tons of headaches. You're the owner and, unfortunately, it's your responsibility to get it fixed if you want to drive it.
